Abstract
An overview of the new fast and efficient spatio-temporal video filtering technique was presented in this paper. The new approach is based on digital paths concepts in three dimensional space. The digital paths can explore image structures in spatial as well as temporal coordinates from subsequent frames. Presented technique copes with different video artifacts such as Gaussian, impulsive and grain noise and still preserves and even enhances edges. The new method can even remove JPEG artifacts and video flickering. Preliminary results show that the proposed algorithm can be used both for offline and online processing.
